Hello gang, Irvin here. Please see the previous post for why there have been no updates. Also, I just spent a semester in London. Anyway, this just had to be shared.
I play Quidditch, and attended a pickup game on Sunday hosted by my team. Random players from all over the country came, being home for the summer holidays from whatever distant colleges they attend. I was put on a team with only these players ("mercenaries," if you will), and none of my teammates.
I do not discuss anything with these complete strangers outside of Quidditch-related things. Nothing about chinchillas, or team names, or animals, or anything.
When the ref asks for our team name, the captain says without skipping a beat, "the Flying Chinchillas." Everyone roars their approval.
And this, dear readers, is why I love Quidditch players so much. They are wonderful people, who understand me on so many levels.
Remember, loving chinchillas is contagious...we hope.
The Flying Chinchillas of Quidditch
Taking Over the World
What surprises people about Irvin and Natasha is that we quite often have serious conversations about politics and stuff like that. We have since determined that the world would really be much better off if we were its supreme rulers (as Natasha prefers to call it, dictators, but that’s not a politically correct term). To that end, we wrote down a plan titled “World Domination in 22 Easy Steps” on July 9th, 2008.
For our security purposes, we obviously cannot disclose the full contents of this plan… but rest assured, you will know it when it takes effect. For now, you’ll have to be content knowing that it involves an army of hot pink chinchillas. Because, let’s face it, what army could stand against a writhing mass of bouncing hot pink fluff?
And here we had you thinking all along that our obsession with chinchillas was purely for our entertainment! Muahahahahaha!!!
Also, once we take over the world, Natasha insists on making the world capital “Bangkok.” This was probably chosen completely at random. ;)
We have divvied up the continents between the two of us, and are convinced that the world will be a better place under our regime.
Remember, insanity isn’t contagious…we think.
P.S. Once we take over the world (because our plan will definitely work!), all followers of this blog will enjoy a position of privilege in the new world order.
